Off to Burntisland on Saturday for a 4 man scramble but I'm getting an early pick up as we have our usual Friday night game of cards might not be in the best shape  but looking forward to it never played it before and even if we stink the views of of the Firth of Forth are meant to be lovely and the course although not long everyone I have spoken to have really enjoyed it. It's quite hilly and quirky with some tricky holes. If there's a bit of run it's easy to find trouble on a few.

I'm looking forward to Longniddry Seniors on Wednesday. Hopefully get a bit of run on a links course and the greens aren't too difficult iirc. And its also stableford, so a blob isn't the end of the world.
well nothing whatsoever about that proved correct

despite that 100, my index was cut from 27.3 to 27. My course handicap was 31 for the round. We were playing off the black tees, but the course isn't hugely long at 6000 yard of those tees. I think it must be the fast greens, where every putt needed correct pace and line that make the course difficult.

From the swing mechanics point of view the worst thing that could happen is that you miss the ball entirely. But we all know that the worst things happen golf when we not only hit the ball, but hit it far enough to reach some place where the ball will either never been seen again or if seen again will not be playable.
Good luck with your changes.

Sounds like a nice trip Eck.
I played in the Hamilton 4 ball on Monday and would probably have been lynched, if my partner hadn't been playing so badly. My score was the "counter" in 16 of the 18 holes and off my present 27, I would almost def have won a singles comp on a score of 91. Don't know if we won a prize as the computer wasn't working, so just had to put the cards in a box. Hopefully I can keep the improvement going for the rest of the season and maybe get a couple of prizes.

Played a senior open at Cawder (easy course of their two) to the north east of Glasgow on Thursday. Finished with 33 stabos but a bit disappointed as I had 29 with four not particularly hard holes to go.
I ldropped a not too bad score on my index so I have crept up from 27.9 to 28.
